Charlie Sheen's retired porn star ex-girlfriend Bree Olson claims she could be making almost a million dollars a year if she went back to making porn movies.

In a black and white video posted this week by Real Women Real Stories, which describes itself as "a unique project curated by men with the goal of embracing women who are silent in their pain but want to speak out," Olson talks about how being a former sex worker has impacted her future career path and how much she could be earning if she just went back to the porn industry.

"I gave up between $30,000 and $60,000 a month," she states. "And I could go back to porn today and still make that. I could go back to porn and make $20,000 just in one week, if I wanted to, this week."

That said, she makes it clear in the video that she has no interest in returning to the adult movie industry.

"And I don't," she continues. "Because that's how much I don't want my photos on the internet."

According to Olson, porn made her something of a pariah when it comes to making money in mainstream industries.

"I encountered a lot of issues with my transition, and people not accepting me in the mainstream world," she says. Her desire, she explains, is to be treated like everyone else. "I wish that people would treat me how they would treat a married, registered nurse with two point five kids in Indiana," she weeps. "That's how I wish people would treat me."

In a story for the Daily Dot, Olson says, "I left a career where I made millions to try and gain respect."

Today, she says, "I am shunned by society and broke."

She adds:

"I should have just put in another five years at least so that in more my smart financial years as I was older, I could have saved enough to live comfortably for the rest of my life."

"Here's how things break down. For a 'traditional' sex scene between a man and a woman, the average actress' compensation is typically between $800 and $1,000, depending on the studio's budget. Top-tier performers can earn as much as $1,500, occasionally $2,000, while newcomers with bad representation might earn as little as $300."

Men who work in porn aren't so lucky, CNBC reports. "In general, males average $500-$600 per scene or day. Better known male performers can earn $700-$900; superstars up to $1,500."

Back in 2012, the Hollywood Reporter talked to porn superagent Mark Spiegler about what women who work in porn can command. In the post-Great Recession porn era, most girls won't make big bucks:

"While a decade ago the average female performer would make about $100,000 a year, Spiegler says she now might make as little as $50,000 -- all while juggling responsibilities such as social-media outreach and personal appearances."

That said, every business has its unicorns:

"A handful of female superstars can make upward of $350,000 a year, while top male performers can make more than $100,000 annually, though they shoot far more often."
